Grape Sauce for Winter
Make a zesty sauce for meat — it'll be a real treat come winter! Grape sauce is one of those things well worth putting up for the cold months. It gives meat dishes a new, piquant edge. The sauce comes out spicy, so adjust the amount of spices and hot pepper to taste — don't add all the ginger and pepper at once; add a little at a time, tasting as you go. That way it's easy to dial in the heat just how you like it. Ripe grapes give the sauce a beautiful, rich color.

- Almost everyone knows how good grape sauce is, but few know how to make it — especially as a winter preserve. This sauce is a real lifesaver: serve it for a celebration or use it to liven up everyday meals. Grape sauce pairs with meat and fish and dishes made from them. 1. Wash and sort the grapes. The berries should be ripe; discard any greenish or spoiled ones, and pull off the stems. 2. Transfer the prepared grapes to a blender and purée them — it's easier to do this in batches. 3. It's best to pass the grape purée through a fine sieve so no seeds or unblended skins end up in the sauce. 4. Pour the grape purée into a heavy-bottomed pot and set it over the heat. Cook for 20 minutes from the time it boils, stirring constantly so it doesn't scorch. 5. After that, stir in the wine vinegar. 6. Put the cloves and peppercorns in a mortar and grind them with the pestle until fine. 7. Mince the hot pepper as finely as you can. Peel the garlic and press it. 8. Add the ground cloves and pepper, the minced hot pepper, the ground ginger, and the garlic to the sauce. Cook for another 30 minutes. 9. Transfer the hot sauce to prepared jars and seal them airtight. Small jars work best for this sauce. Enjoy!
